I'm having a hard time deciding what to do today for my DD! Potato day? High fat day? Just regular old day with whatever fits? Can't decide, but I'm going to have to right quick, because my tum's growling and it's lunchtime.

LCG-- we're about the same height and weight and age (+/- 4 in age/weight). Do you usually stick to under 400+?

S.

I haven't until recently, and when I feel I need to, I still go up to 500ish. But I have slowed down a bit in the last month or so. Slowed, not stalled. And there has been Thanksgiving and Bday, so I don't want to over-react and adjust my UD calories just yet, but I thought lowering DD calories, where possible, might help a little. It's scary to restrict more. I mean 70 calories can buy you a lot of satisfaction on a DD, done correctly!

I hear ya.
I'm not sure where I'm at-- given my vacation, I was up a lot. I'm back doing good rotations, but some of my UDs were quite up, and/or what I was eating impacts me as well (more vs fewer carbs). So I'm not sure I can say yet whether I need to leave the 2000/500 zone.

I figure I'll hold steady through Dec, and then I think I have all of January with no travel, so I can assess then.
(she says, mostly to herself)...

for Lunch/supper, tilapia with tartar sauce (195)
Breakfast was coffee with creamer (30)

I have decided it is too hard to actually plan out what I eat the night before a DD. My tastes change from day to day. I just figure the calories in what sounds yummy and go from there.
